Job description
Job Description
Locations: River Bend, LA (ONSITE) Relocation required (fully covered)
The mission
We're building the compute infrastructure that determines who shapes the future of AI. Whoever deploys frontier compute fastest — at gigawatt scale — decides whether that future expands human freedom or narrows it. This is a confidential search on behalf of a company doing exactly that: acquiring power, designing and building data centers, and operating them, faster than anyone else in the market.
Why join
You'll be the on-site authority, not someone waiting on one — full ownership of critical infrastructure risk and change management for the site
Work inside live, active build-out — the site's operating posture is being defined in real time, and your judgment shapes it
Real technical ownership over power and cooling systems at a scale few sites in the country operate at
Direct exposure to the build-out of the most capital-intensive infrastructure in tech right now
Relocation handled end-to-end — you're not solving your own logistics problem on top of a new job
Role scope
Serve as on-site SME for critical infrastructure, handling escalations across white space and supporting facilities
Understand site design limitations and risk; audit colocation partners and service providers on maintenance programs and effectiveness
Own the change management process for high-risk maintenance activities
Act as first responder on-site for incidents, driving resolution with support from engineering and infrastructure SMEs
Partner with colo partners, vendors, and internal teams to keep the site reliable; feed operational learnings back into design and process
Who we're looking for
You've operated or led critical-facilities operations in a live data center, owning the physical infrastructure that keeps a site running
You know the critical-infrastructure stack — power and cooling — well enough to be the on-site authority
You run change management for high-risk work and hold vendors/partners to a real standard
You're calm and capable when something fails at 3am — you're the first responder, not the one waiting for one
You audit, document, and improve — leaving the site's operating posture stronger than you found it
Bonus: hyperscale or colocation operations experience, Uptime Institute or NFPA familiarity, MOP/EOP experience, vendor and colo management
What's required
Willingness to relocate to Louisiana, Texas, New York, or Indiana — the company covers moving costs, housing search, and all logistics
Comfort operating in a fast-moving, high-trust environment with real stakes attached to your output
Compensation & benefits
Competitive total compensation (salary + equity), retirement/pension in line with local norms, health/dental/vision insurance, generous PTO.
